I loved "So the things you can think" I guess because it had such silly words it just made me laugh. I also had "Great Day for Up" which I liked, and Grace likes that now too, especially because when she sees the word "up" I point to it and she reads that part.Love Green Eggs and Ham, I mean who doesn't? That's another fav in this house.one that means alot to me is Oh the Places You'll Go, a friend gave that to me when I finished Uni, I love that book, it has alot of meaning.the kids at school LOVED when I read Fox in Socks to them, we all laughed at the tongue twisters.I liked Oh, Say Can you Say too, another fun book.

Actually, Helen loves all books. Right now (she's almost 3) she's really in to The Berenstain Bears (which I really like too because they usually have some kind of lesson), If I had a Dragon, Baby Shoes, all of Doreen Cronin's books and, of course, her Beginner's Bible (which we read at least one story from every day).

We love to read and even Patrick (3 months old) seems to listen and pay attention during reading time.

“The Monster at The End of This Book (Starring Lovable, Furry Old Grover)”, written by Jon Stone and illustrated by Mike Smollin. Grover tries to do things like tie the pages together and build brick walls to keep the reader from turning pages, because there is a monster at the end of the book and he’s scared. When you get to the end, Grover turns out to be the monster, of course, but he tries to save face by saying, “I TOLD you and TOLD you there was nothing to be afraid of.” :)

“Spectacles” by Ellen Raskin. It’s a fun little story about a nearsighted girl named Iris Fogel who sees things like a fire-breathing dragon that turns out to be her great aunt. :)
